Beck Tuch on how lit mags matter

I’ll tell you, there is an essay from Granta that I read years ago and which I still think about every single day. There is a discussion forum in Boston Review from which I still quote in conversation. There is one poem that I read in Beecher’s many months ago, which flits through my mind constantly.
